Dili., JACOB BARFF. ■ 1 THE NEWS. General Schofield has issued an order that the ballots of the white and colored voters at the coming election shall be taken seperately. General Mower will postpone the elections in Louisiana until the first Monday of November, owing to the yellow fever.

It is learned from a well informed source that the British government will not at presentappoint a successor to Sir Fredrick Bruce. The duties of the legation will be performed by the first secretary Francis Clarford. The remains of Maximilian, notwithstanding the difficulties placed in Admiral Tegethoffs way, will be delivered to the envoy of the Austrian Imperial House. The United States Marshal is serving the writs issued by the United States District Court and property under them, but the prices are so low in the present condition of affairs in North Carolina that in one case a farm which cost 810,000 in gold before the war brought but 85,000. The French and English Ministers at the Sandwich Islands cavil at the treaty with the United States, and chagrined at the advantages sure to accrue to us.— The leprosy is making a fearful havoc among the natives; victims are numbered by hundreds. A separate tract of land has been devoted to the sole use of the community of lepers. Only one for- * eigner, a German, has been attacked.

The Time'* Washington special says that yellow fever Blackburn, who returned to the United States after the issue of the last amnesty proclamation, has gone to New Orleans. The Soldier’s Union, it is said, threaten to prosecute him for his alleged conspiracy to murder their friends by sending infected clothing to them during the war. General Grant has approved and forwarded the application of General Sickles for a court of inquiry. Sickles is evidently anxious for martyrdom. The Navy Department has just received a lengthy dispatch from Admiral Farragut, giving an account of his visit to the Russian iron clad fleet by his squadron, on the 30th of August, and the great honors paid to our vessels and officers. The signal order of the day contained, under the signa! flag, the inscription, both in the English and Russian language, the words ; “Let us remember the glorious example of Farragut and his followers at New Orleans and Mobile.” In the evening every vessel in the Russian squadron was brilliantly illuminated, and Farragut inspected the Russian fleet next day. The Cincinnati Gazette a special says. “General Grant, since going into the War Department, has received a number of letters, some of them anoymous, and others from unknown persons, urging him to care for his personal safety. The writers represent generally that his life now is of the utmost importance to the nation. Some advise him to refrain from going about the city unattended. Others, knowing his penchant for fast horses, beg him to handle them with every possible precaution.— One advises him to keep away from theaters, and another urges caution in the admission of persons who wish private interviews.

The Chicago New Covenant «ayß ; “Two gifted clergymen have been recent inmates of the Wash ington Home, of that city, seeking a cure of their habits of intoxication—and a third, after preaching on trial, for months, to one of the wealthiest and largest parishes of the city, was rejected despite his overmastering pulpit, ability, bcemise hewa*—a secret drunkard.

Garlbalda Arrested in Attempting the Invasion of Rome. Flomnci, Sept. 24. General Garibaldi was arrested to-day near a small town named Azevalvaga. by order of Victor Emanuel. His intention and designs were made known to his adherents, and consequently to the King's Government in this city, by the circulation amongst the revolutionists of inflamatory addresses, dated from Arrego on the 22d. ”rtie issue of this paper placed Victor Emanuel in a difficult position. By the recent convention with France, under which the French troops evacuated Rome, he is bound to maintain the papal territory free from filibusters coming from Italy. The King replied to Garibaldi's address by a royal proclamation, circulated also on Sanday, in which he denounced the Garibildian movement, and cautioned his subects against aiding, or taking part in it, and declared his resolve to arrest and rigorously punish any of his people who disobeyed him, as well as .others arrested on the soil of Italy engaged in crime against the law of nations. By virtue of the proclamation, Garibaldi has been arrested. Florence, Sept. 25.—When it became known that Garibaldi had been arrested and imprisoned in the fortress of Alessandria, his partisans were greatly exasperated and appearing in the streets in crowds made turbulent demonstrations of sympathy for their leader. The manifestations finally developed into a riot, but the disturbance, though threatening, was suppressed by the prompt action and firmness of the authorities. Some of the volunteers of Garibaldi, who had gathered on various parts of the frontier, were compelled to disperse and retire by the latlian troops. Victor Emanuel has issued another proclamation, in which he says the faith of the- Government is pledged in its treaties with foreign powers and exacts of it the painful duty of arresting Garibaldi, the acknowledged leader of a movment in direct violation of these treaties. Marriage Among Blood Relations.

A French savan has been making some new investigations in one of the communes as to the effect of consanguineous marriages in producing disease and idiocy In the offspring. His researches were in locality which furnishes large opportunity for observation and he minutely investigated the history and circumstances of forty families resulting from such marriages. He has prepared tables to show that neither vices of conformation, insanity idiocy, cretinism, deaf muteness, nor epilepsy existed among any of these famil - ies; and he has come-to the conclusion that the danger of consanguine marriages result from an intensification of any morbid hereditary tendencies that may exist in each parent, while, if each be perfectly healthy, the fact of consanguinity counts for nothing. The subject is one regarding which our knowledge is very imperfect, and in which anything like scientific investigation is very limited.— Though of great importance to the human race, it is moreover a subject about which accurate date are exceedingly difficult of collection. It is always safe, however to follow the old injunction*that a “man shall not marry his grandmother. A lady correspondent of 4 the Milwaukee Sentinel, who, writing under a nnm de plu me had attracted considerable attention, received a note from a gentleman admirer, recently, in which the writer said that a lady who could put such beautiful thoughts to paper, must be equally gifted in person, etc., etc., and wanted to meet her by moonlight alone, to which she wrote a consent. She came to the. rendezvous veiled; they walked, he talked, he made love; finally gained consent to take a little kiss; the veil was raised for the purpose, and the stricken gentleman gazed upon the comely features of his own wife.

John G. Saxe, writing of what he saw in Europe, says : “I saw more pretty girls in Dublin than in London; and manv more in London than in Paris. 'JHie sweetest voice I ever heard in conversation come from a German woman, who sold beer and biscuits in the suburbs of Gotha, with smiles benignant enough to turn cakes and ale into ambrosia and nectar. I saw a good deal of peasantry of many countries, and thought the Irish the most and the Roman the least attractive of all I had the privilege to study.” An American named Pratt, belonging in Alabama, has patented 4, writing machine, by which double the labor of a rapid penman can be performed in the same period of time. Its price is only ten dollars. Could Mr. Pratt only invent * thinking machine, editorial work could be easily perform ad.

Probable Trial of JeflfDavls. The New York Herald's Richmond special dispateh says that Jeff Davis’ trial has been definitely determined upon, and will take at the November term of the Circuit court there. Judge Chase has expessed his intention of pre siding, and if the rebel ex-presi-dent does not fail to come to time on his straw bail, questions of great importance will arise, which will require all the diplomacy and ability of the chief justice to evade and decide. The opinion is expressed that, allowing Davis will appear, the trial will be shirked by the Government, and the prisoner will again be set at liberty on bail. There is reason to contradict such an erroneous impression. Indications lead to the belief that the trial will be proceeded with, a mass of the most important events connected with the history of the rebellion disclosed, the counsel for defence will demand a trial, and if the Government urge as an excuse not ready, the court will express its intention to remain in session a sufficient time to prepare. Failing in this, a nolle prosequic will the be entered, by which the discharge of the prisoner may by effected. The latter is not likely, and the trial, which the nation at large demands, will be proceeded with. Davis can scarcely be convicted. Yellow Fever. New Orleans, September 24. The interments from yellow fever in the twenty-four hours ending this morning were eighty-four. Letters from Lagrange, Texas state that the number of citizens remaining in the town is barely five hundred. The interments reached twenty-four in two days, the disease proving fatal in nine cases out of ten. Every house is filled with sickness and death, and whole families are swept away.— The disease is spreading the country. There are no provisions in the town, and the country people will not- venture in with produce. On the 6th instant not even meal could be had to make gruel for the sick. Buisiness has closed entirely ; stores are closed, newspapers have suspended publication, and the jail has been emptied of its inmates, who fled in terror from the scene of desolation.

Galveston, Saturday, Sept. 21. The epidemic is abating here from exhaustion of material. The disease is devastating the chief towns in the state, whither the nurses have been dispatched. The Howard Association has issued an earnest remonstrance against the return of unacclimated persons to the city. A ship load of emigrants, which arrived here, were not permitted to land.

Bondholders. The bondholder will deposit ten or twenty thousand dollars in bank, upon which he will draw national currency to speculate with and when theassesor comes around he says, “my money is in government bonds; I pay no State and county tax; I go to the bank, and receive my interest every six months, that is the way I do my business.” The man who owns a small farm, or the mechanic who makes his living by the sweat of his brow, has to keep up State affairs. The Governor, the State officers, the Legislators, the county officer, the insane, the deaf and dumb the blind and the poor, must be taken care of; the sinking fund must be kept up, also the school fund. The bondholder does not pay one cent for the, support of the State and county officers.— The bondholder does not pay one cent for the support of the deaf and dumb, blind or insane. The bondholder does not pay one cent to support the common schools. The ordinary farmer, business man and mechanic, educates the bondholder's children, We can tell the bondholders there will be a rattling of dry bones among them ere long, should they persist in this class of legislation.— Cambridge City Mirror.

California Election Returns. Returns of the late election from all but one county, show a majority for Haight over Gorham and Fay of 7,200 : total vote about 82,000.

The full official account may increase Haight’s majority 1,000, and total vote to 87,000, which is 16,000 less than the total vote last general election. Haight’s vote will be about 3,600 more than McClellans; Gorham’s and Fay’s about 1,000 less than Lincoln’s ; Jones, Union candidate for Lieutenant Governor, leads Gorham in 34 counties, 3,260. Returns of the congressional vote show a majority for Axtell, First District of 4,300: Highley, Second District, 2,131; Johnson, Third District, 1,017A gentleman presented the Hudson River Lodge of Masons at Newburg. New York, last week, a bond drawn in favor of General George Washington, as guardian of Miss Martha Parke Custis, dangther of Colonel Parke - Cusjri®.

Elections have now been orderi ed, under the reconstruction law, in three or four Southern States, viz: In Louisian, on the 27th of this month; Virginia, on the 23d of October; and Georgia, on the i 27th of October. A report has been made from Alabama that the election in that State will be held on the 29th of October, but no order to that effect has yet been received at headquarters. The official result of registration is as follows : Louisiana, whites, 44,732 ; blacks, 62,907; Virginia, whites, 115,159; blacks. 101,400; Georgia, whites 65,503; blacks, 93,417; Alabama, whites, 17,242; blacks, 88,248. It will be seen that the blacks have a majority in Alabama and Louisiana. Registration has been completed in South Carolina, but the election is not yet ordered. newTadvertisements H. W.
